FORT WORTH, Texas — A judge ruled Wednesday that the murder trial for the former Fort Worth police officer who shot and killed Atatiana Jefferson in 2019 will not be moved out of Tarrant County, but it will be delayed for another month.
The new trial date is June 23.
Judge David Hagerman ruled while media coverage has been pervasive and prejudicial, the coverage has not been inflammatory. The motion to move the trial, which Dean's attorneys filed in November, was denied.
